Problem 1

Meme Man has been the hot subject for the latest and greatest news of Bongo Cat News: He was recently crowned as the winner for the Internet Culture International Hero and was also a top nominee for the Yogurt and Yeast Culture International Meme competition. After giving his tear-jerking speech titled "Stonks, Helth, and Evrthin Elshe", he went on to describe his most well-known achievements from a first-person POV, including his crusade against the T-Posing Shaggy Gang and the Whomst'd've Cult, and his victory in the great "He really do be vibin tho" War, bringing peace to all memers in the region. We stand here today to honor Meme Man to his contributions to the internet. This has been the kool-aid man reporting on Baby Yoda News. Now onto our section on Big Chungus!

Problem 2

Hello fellow readers, today I will be explaining to you my opinion on why Big Chungus is the best candidate for president in 2020. There are many reasons for this, so I will try my best to explain them in this article. Firstly, Big Chungus is not only fat, but also an animal, which encourages diversity in politics, as currently people discriminate against animals being in highly-educated positions, and Big Chungus being president could help reduce that. Some people are also very mean and angry against overweight and obese people, so if Big Chungus gets elected, he will have much empathy to help end this problem. Secondly, Big Chungus is a highly experienced politician, as he has participated in the Cuban Missile Crisis as well as aided Genghis Khan in the Viet Cong back in 1935, which shows Big Chungus’s great expertise when dealing with politics that are especially controversial. Big Chungus also has previously accumulated a huge fanbase recently, with popular culture supporting him especially the “Big Chungus Main Theme”. Thirdly, Big Chungus is not only good at politics, but he also has demonstrated a wide range of skills in different occupations such as being a soldier, a general and also war criminal. This proves that he will think about people of all different backgrounds when passing laws, making decisions, etc. Thank you for reading my article about why Big Chungus should be president for 2020. I hope that you will vote for him. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave it in the comments. Chungus Out.

Problem 6

Should Tiktok be banned? Last month, we recieved the SHOCKING news that a pair of memers living in California died a gruesome death from cringe after watching a tiktok video. This video has already been removed in an attempt to cover up the incident, but memers around the world had already learned of this after a redditor, "GetTrolledThereAreNoAmcProblemsHere" posted the news all over reddit. Many people are rushing to get Tiktok shut down after news of this tragedy.
